A student is being sued for “racism” after criticizing the existence of a University computer lab that only allows Abos.
This is such a joke. He might even face legal bills up to $200,000.
Australian student sued for criticizing Abo-only computer lab

The rest of the article from the Brisbane Times:
The trio are being sued, alongside the university and two staff, by the administration officer who asked Mr Wood to leave the room, Cindy Prior.
Indigenous woman, Ms Prior went on sick leave following the incident and reports she felt unsafe leaving her home because she was afraid somebody would say something offensive to her.
She also says she was unable to return to work in a role that required her to have face-to-face contact with white people.
Ms Prior is seeking hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages.
Lawyers for the students have sought to have the case dismissed in the Federal Court, citing a lack of legal basis to contend their clients had breached the act and labelling the lawsuit an abuse of process.
Judge Michael Jarrett has reserved his decision.
It is understood the trio's lawyers have spent several hundred hours defending the action.
A legal source told AAP the costs of defending the proceeding would have already run into tens of thousands of dollars for Mr Wood and could rise to about $200,000 if the case went to trial.
The cumulative bill for the students to defend the case at trial could be more than $500,000.
The trio have also hit out at QUT, claiming they were kept in the dark about Ms Prior's complaint to the Human Rights Commission and, therefore, deprived of having the matter thrown out earlier.
Under the Racial Discrimination Act, complainants must go through a conciliation process before a Federal Court action can be launched and the Human Rights Commission says more than half of all section 18C cases have been resolved at that level.
But the students were not made aware of the complaint until days before a final conference with the commission, despite the matter having been underway for 12 months, and Mr Wood claims a QUT lawyer told him he did not need to attend.
QUT's law firm, Minter Ellison, admits one of its solicitors told Mr Wood his presence was not required but denies she discouraged him from attending.

Mate I can agree with you there, abo fucks are seriously scum.
if you took your local dindu from the states, took away some IQ points, and then made them literally ugly as fuck; you would have an abo. Sitting around drinking goon sacks and fighting with each other and everyone else then claiming something is "native land" I kid you not the mining companies have to "consult" with elders before cutting into a site - and their "land" always comes at a price, there's nothing sacred to them only that they get more "gibs".
Burning down houses (free ones I might add), numerous cases of abuse in families....scum.

To get Centrelink benefits, they're surprisingly good at that.
Also to steal for more goon sacks

Box wine, or green stone ginger. Cheap and nasty. They also chrome (inhale aerosol and petrol) and in a pinch they'll get methylated spirits and orange juice to get pissed.

Anyone who doesn't see the double standard is either a fucking idiot or the victim of Jim Jones type of brainwash.
